Technology

Ok, I started thisPost yesterday, but never finished. I also can't find the draft because I don't know where to look. It is hard for me to grasp all the technology today, and it is so amazing that it can happen. Yesterday I skyped with a friend, and it ws as if we were sitting in the kitchen having coffee together and chatting. I loved it and didn't want to hang up but all good things must come to an end. And so it ended.

Amazing

So many things that we can do in 2011 are amazing. We can phone a friend from anywhere. Like if you are in the mall and can't find your son because he is in a different store than the one where you left him. This is why you should always take your phone with you because we are used to getting hold of people by text or by phone. You can write a letter to a friend and send it by e-mail and they get it in like 2 minutes or less. You can keep in touch by Facebook and then you don't need to send Christmas cards because you have been in touch all year. You can play a word game with friend and don't even have to be in the same room, the same house or even the same state. You can call a person on Skype and be in a totally different state and yet it is kind of like they are sitting in the living room right across from you. How do people think of these things? I can come up with ideas but I have no idea how these things happen. How do people make them occur? What gives people the way to make and idea a reality? I don't know because I don't think that way and I truly find that way of thinking amazing!

Christmas 2011

Still no pictures, sorry about that. I can't find the cords. I have unpacked every box. So unless they were thrown away, maybe I will find them when I least expect it. Christmas was so exciting. I drove up to Katie's on the 23rd so I could help by baking cookies and getting a few things cleaned. We also went out with some friends for Thai night and enjoyed some new tastes. The next night we had dinner with them again and enjoyed their little boy Peirson. IN addition to seeing the movie, "Warhorse" with Katie, I also watched the "Book of Eli" and "Shattered Glass" and some Wonder Years with Jonothan. All of those were good entertainment. Some of these have more redeeming value than others. Christmas Eve we went to Katie's Metro Church and had a very traditional service in the company of alot of reforming/reformed alcoholics/drug users. They did not sing too many of the carols but the rest of us did! Then Lita arrived. ON Christmas morning we had a Dutch pancake for breakfast. That didn't fill us up so we had some Thai for lunch made from spaghetti noodles and opened about a zillion presents. Joe and Alicia came for a speciao dinner and we opened presents again. Way too many for grown ups. So there it was Christmas- baking, movies, presents, good food, and friends. Let's not forget the real meaning of the season though, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord." May your holiday always be merry, bright, and true.
